... the new manager of Northampton Town (Cobblers! I hear you all shout, but I'm being serious) was quoted in an edition of last week's world-famous Evening Telegraph (which serves both Northampton and Kettering as well as a certain other town in Northants that has a much-despised reputation in non-league circles) was quoted as saying something to the effect that, "We're doing Kettering a favour by playing them in a pre-season friendly. The result isn't important to me. I just hope Kettering don't turn it into a chance to kick us off the pitch just so they can claim a 'scalp' in the match".
Now I didn't go to this game so I can't make any personal comment on it, but most KTFC fans and the aforementioned world-famous Evening Telegraph were united in the belief that KTFC - despite being 3 levels below their esteemed opposition which fielded their full first team squad at least in the first half - played proper football and it was Northampton that played the most clogging footie.
Such a shame that it ended 0-0, despite one of our attacks ending with the ball bouncing 3 times off the crossbar. We wuzz apparently robbed! Bet we get stuffed by Stony Stratford
